Pros

Excellent benefits Flex time Training opportunities for personal development Great office space Recognized and respected brand Several fun office activities

Cons

Could be just the team that I am on but there is heavy micro-management that requires detailed progress reports at least twice, sometimes 3 times a week. Unrealistic expectations regarding progress. As a new-hire, they expected me to understand entire methodologies (250+ pages), programs/applications (1000's of lines of code), and processes within two months (in my case). I'm hoping this isn't company wide.... Managers who are promoted seem to know the product very well, but lack skills in managing others. There is favoritism and not everyone is created equal. Some people get to come, go and do as they please while others don't have this luxury. Also, this company isn't trustworthy regarding job security. I have worked here for only a couple of months and have seen so many people quit, transfer to different teams without notice, or get fired. Lastly, work is REPETITIVE. Every week is the same unless something goes wrong with processing or you find something wrong during data quality check.

Pros

Remote job that pays market rate salaries and offers decent health benefits.

Cons

It feels like the executives at this company are sitting in first class in an airplane behind a giant metal door instead of a curtain, completely sealed off from the rest of the organization that is all sitting in coach. We are told to stay seated, stay comfortable, and be grateful, cramped seats, stale peanuts and all. Every so often, a voice comes over the intercom with an announcement, and you have no choice but to accept it. Sometimes that announcement is that your colleague has been fired, so they can clear some salary cap for another former Sterling employee, and you'll need to increase your work load. This executive change honestly feels like a cash grab for the executive team and their friends and does not feel like the transformation the company desperately needed. Every executive working here is a nepobaby. They only hire people and vendors who have previously worked with the CEO and the COO at other companies, even if they are not the best candidates or companies to work with. They are also paying them obscene salaries. None of these folks have any experience in the industry that drives the company profits, automotive, nor have any interest in getting up to speed. J.D. Power used to be a place where speaking up was encouraged. Now, one wrong look at the wrong executive can cost you your job. They removed internal anonymous feedback because "it's not productive." But I am 1000% sure they are reading still reading these reviews.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. JD Power is focused on building a strong foundation for long-term growth, and we recognize that the pace of this transition can be challenging. We encourage employees to share their feedback directly with their manager, the People & Culture team, and/or senior leadership. Thank you, JD Power
